My First Learn-to-Talk Book: Created by an Early Speech Expert! (My First Learn-to-Talk Books) Board book – June 7, 2022

There’s a lot of trial and error teaching babies. For our son, this book was highly effective in not only learning new sounds but learning to “read”. He can literally flip through the book on his own and make the sounds. He’s also used the book to express his emotions to us—particularly sad and mad. He’ll find his book on the couch and point to the page for us to see and make the sound. “Ok. Understood, kiddo!”

I really like this book, I believe it will help my baby’s vocabulary.

Love it! It's really simple and a great book. Worth to buy

I'm a speech and ABA therapist and this is an excellent book to use for toddlers' speech development. Kids love the fun pictures and imitating the sounds. Crucially, it's written by a speech therapist and is evidence-based.

My son was about 18 months old and not putting words together in sentenced yet. When he was born, he needed mouth surgery at 9 months and we always worried this would slow down his speechAt 18 months, he knew about 10 words he used regularly but had a habit of saying words one time and then never saying them again. He communicated a lot with his eyes and hands, and he understood a lot of basic requests and understood a lot of what we said. Worried his speech would fall behind we got the book- read it for a few weeks, and by 19-20 months he is saying more words than we can count.Maybe that was just his time, but I think the book helped. I think the way the book was set up gave him confidence in how he pronounces his letters and I would recommend it to any parent worried about their young ones having a speech delay. We bought a few more books by this brand.The book lines up baby’s facial expressions and emotions with what they are saying and compares words that rhyme and sound a like/ really highlighting whatever letter is different.example- “when I’m thinking my mouth says hmmmm. When I’m eating my mouth says mmmmm” great book. Repetitive- and highlights those little differences in words for baby.Only problem-there’s one part where is says “when I’m surprised my mouth say “ah!” Or something and “when I’m sad my mouth says “wah.”For the next two weeks- when my son was sad (did get a second cookie or second cup of juice, when it was time to come home from the park, time to go to bed. Time to go inside….. my son wouldn’t cry. He would sit there and say “Waaaah. Wah! Wah!” He sounded like an adult pretending to be a baby. It was super weird and even his nana was like “what’s up with him going “waaah waaah wah”I laughed and we skip that part of the book now. But him literally saying the word “wah wah waaaaah” were pretty sure came right from this book because that’s the only place we would have heard “crying” like that and he wasn’t crying/complaining/whining/protesting like that before we started reading this book.But this book is amazing for building confident in young speakers. Very well done book!

I feel like I have to read this 3x a day to get results, and honestly if that’s what I have to do, so be it. I read the book in a certain tone and my son knows when I’m about to say one of the highlighted words. He just won’t say it. We are supposed to be starting speech therapy soon. He does like the book enough to the point where he’ll bring it to me to read, or he puts my hand on it.

Bought this book for my 1 yr old grand daughter and the results are amazing!!!!! Many thanks!!!

My baby loves this book
